How to use this archive
Three ways to read a retirement year.
- As a buyer. Sets that retired 5–10 years ago are at peak aftermarket recognition — high prices, lots of listings. Sets that retired 1–2 years ago are still mid-appreciation; if you wanted to own a set you missed at retail, this is when you decide whether to buy or wait.
- As a seller. If you're sitting on sealed sets from a given year, the archive shows what comparable retirements are doing on the secondary market right now. The sealed-value notes are based on recent eBay sold listings.
- As a collector. The editorial intros explain what was happening in LEGO that year — which themes were ending, which licenses were rolling over, what the market context was. That's the difference between knowing a set retired and understanding why.
Coverage is curated, not exhaustive — we list the notable retirements per year. For comprehensive set-by-set coverage of any year, Brickset's archive is authoritative. Every entry on every year page links there.
